A Complete Morning Offering - Vintage Form
O Lord, into Thy most merciful Hands I commend my body and soul, thoughts and acts, desires and intentions. I commend the needs of my body and soul, future and past, my faith and hope, the end of my life, the day and hour of my death, the burial and resurrection of my body. O most merciful God, whose clemency the sins of the world can never transcend, take me, a sinner, under the wings of Thy protection, and deliver me from every evil. Cleanse my iniquities, grant me a reformation of my life, and protect me against future transgressions, that I may in no manner ever anger Thee. Shelter my weakness from passions and evil persons, guard me against my visible and invisible enemies, and lead me on the road of salvation and to Thyself, the safe harbor and haven of my desires. Grant me a happy, peaceful, Christian death, and protect me from evil spirits. Be merciful to me, Thy servant, at the Great Judgment, and number me among the blessed flock that stands on Thy right, that together with them, I may forever glorify Thee, my Creator. Amen.
